About Our Company

At Modea, we think we’re something new in the market; a tech company that creates platforms and standalone products, but is wrapped in an agency for long-term strategic partnership with our clients. Our passion lies in the creative pursuit of digital innovation that creates solutions for our clients’ biggest challenges.

We were founded in 2006 by two tech entrepreneurs that fell in love with the idea of driving the transformation of how brands and consumers interact with each other.

We exist in Blacksburg because it’s a great place to live, work, and play. We recruit people out of big shops in major metro areas looking for a better quality of life, a better place to raise a family, and an agency that is trying to shape the future of marketing and advertising.
